Light one for me too, Nemer

I don't care what anyone says -- it would have been easy for anyone to have been caught short on a day like this. The fact that I was not or anyone else was not was just providence.

I'd say that God was looking after me but that would be too much like this guy who I used to play poker with: a group of us were in this high stakes poker game with wild cards and the lot--and he bailed out just in time though he had a pretty good hand--and had he stayed on he'd have lost a bundle as several of us had good hands and everyone was raising each other. At the end of the game he said in utter seriousness that "God saved me" -- which we thought was hysterical given that we were gambling. Now futures trading is not quite comparable to playing poker -- but on a day like today it comes close!!

I rarely log on just after the market closes--but I just had to see what was happening on SI after a day like today.

Well, I'll log off now and try and relax until tomorrow

Regards
